BERNIE SANDERS, WIKI Sanders was born on September 8, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York City.[5][6][7][8] His father, Elias Ben Yehuda Sanders (19041962),[9] was born in Słopnice, Galicia, in Austria-Hungary (now part of Poland),[10][11] to a Jewish family. In 1921, Elias immigrated to the United States, where he became a paint salesman.[10][12][13] His mother, Dorothy Sanders (née Glassberg, 19121960), was born in New York City[14][15] to Jewish immigrant parents from Poland and Russia.[16][17]
Third generation Menshevik, I'm guessing. Spent his honeymoon exploring his roots.
Do you happen to know if his father naturalized as a US citizen when Sanders was born? If not, then he is yet another Article II ineligible Democrat POTUS candidate. He would then be a 14th amendment citizen at birth, NOT a natural born one.
No worries for Bernie though, since no one seems to want to ask the SCOTUS what does in fact constitute a natural born citizen. As Justice Clarence Thomas said so sardonically of that very question, “We are evading that one.” (Thomas testimony before a House appropriations panel discussing an increase in the Supreme Courts budget in April of 2017. Thomas said that to Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y.)
